The Corporation leases certain branches under operating leases. At September 30, 2022, the Corporation had lease liabilities totaling $6,095,000 and right-of-use assets totaling $6,056,000 related to these leases. At December 31, 2021, the Corporation had lease liabilities totaling $6,218,000 and right-of-use assets totaling $6,197,000 related to these leases. Lease liabilities and right-of-use assets are reflected in other liabilities and other assets, respectively. At September 30, 2022, the weighted average remaining lease term for operating leases was 9.7 years and the weighted average discount rate used in the measurement of operating lease liabilities was 2.19%.

The calculated amount of the lease liabilities and right-of-use assets are impacted by the length of the lease term and the discount rate used to present value the minimum lease payments. The Corporation’s lease agreements often include one or more options to renew at the Corporation’s discretion. If at lease inception, the Corporation considers the exercising of a renewal option to be reasonably certain, the Corporation will include the extended term in the calculation of the lease liability and right-of-use asset. Regarding the discount rate, the new standard requires the use of the rate implicit in the lease whenever this rate is readily determinable. As this rate is rarely determinable, the Corporation utilizes its incremental borrowing rate at lease inception, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term.

The following table represents lease costs and other lease information. As the Corporation elected, not to separate lease and non-lease components and instead to account for them as a single lease component, the variable lease cost primarily represents variable payments such as common area maintenance and utilities.
